for Action (HFA)
Area 1
The more effective integration of disaster risk considerations into sustainable
development policies, planning and programming at all levels, with a special emphasison disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness and vulnerability reduction.

Outcomes for 2007-2009:

Disaster risk reduction is being adopted and integrated into national
development plans. The DRR is being incorporated in the strategy ofmanaging natural resources and environment towards sustainability underthe 11th National Economic and Social Development
pPlan 2012-2016,,
which is going to be the framework for medium term national development
towards the vision of “A Happy Society with Equity, Fairness, and Resilience”.
The plan provides guideline for natural disaster preparedness
preparedness, including
hazard mapping at national, regional, and provincial level and prioritizationof identified hazards, in order to develop proper preventive and mitigating
structural and non-structural
non structural measures with the emphasis on51
both social and economic aspects.

6. Progress of the Implementation of Hyogo Framework
for Action (HFA)
Area 2The development and strengthening of institutions, mechanisms and capacities at alllevels, in particular at the community level, that can systematically contribute tobuilding resilience to hazards.

O t
Outcomesforf 2007-2009:2007 2009

Existing mechanisms stated in the national disaster prevention andmitigation plan 2010-20142010 2014 are being adopted and executed in a more
integrated and holistic fashion in order to create and strengthen disasterwarning and assessment networks, as well as to encourage people’s
participation in disaster reduction activities at all levels
